Spotlight on innovation
Onscreen Assessment for GCSE English
Earlier this year, we announced our ambition to offer onscreen options for GCSE English exams.*
Building on the success of our onscreen GCSE and International GCSE exams to date, we’re excited to be opening up more ways for students to best show what they know and can do in GCSE English Language, GCSE English Literature and GCSE English Language 2.0.
* Subject to regulatory timelines and Ofqual approval
Onscreen exams
As technology evolves, exams should too, so we’re already making onscreen assessment a reality. Onscreen exams mean more than switching from paper to a device. They offer students another way to best show what they know and can do.
